Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coating technology for lithium battery production, specifically a coating device for lithium battery production. Background Technology
[0002] The purpose of coating in lithium battery production is to uniformly coat the active material onto the current collector to form an electrode coating of consistent thickness. This ensures stable battery performance and meets capacity standards, while also improving the conductivity and safety of the electrodes, laying the foundation for efficient charging and discharging and long-life operation of lithium batteries.
[0003] In most existing coating equipment, active materials are coated onto the current collector by a scraper during the coating process. However, the scraper can only coat active materials. When the current collector is uneven or there is too much active material on the scraper, uneven coating is likely to occur. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

Sliding rods are provided on the right side of the placement frame at both the top and bottom of the fixed frame, and the top and bottom of the fixed frame are slidably connected to the sliding rods on the placement frame.
[0008] Preferably, the first and second power rollers are equipped with power motors, the right side of the sliding block is provided with a sliding groove, and the left side of the fixed plate is provided with a slide rail corresponding to the sliding groove of the sliding block. The sliding block achieves sliding connection on the fixed plate through the cooperation of the sliding groove and the slide rail.
[0009] Preferably, the discharge assembly includes a discharge trough, which is fixedly connected to the top left side of the coating plate.

At the same time, the uniform plate can also evenly fill the discharge trough with the active material, which is then evenly discharged through the outlet and distributed on the top of the coating plate. This solves the problem of uneven thickness caused by excessive active material on the existing coating plate. Attached Figure Description

[0024] This utility model provides the following technical solution: Example 1

[0026] The coating mechanism 2 includes a first power roller 22 and a second power roller 23. The first power roller 22 is fixedly connected to the right side of the second traction roller 9 at the top of the placement frame 1. The second power roller 23 is fixedly connected to the right side of the first power roller 22 at the top of the placement frame 1. A fixing plate 27 is fixedly connected to the right side of the second power roller 23 at the top of the placement frame 1. A sliding block 26 is slidably connected to the inside of the fixing plate 27 at the top of the second power roller 23. A scraping roller 24 is rotatably connected to the middle of the inside of the sliding block 26. A coating plate 25 is fixedly connected to the inside of the fixing plate 27 near the second power roller 23.
[0027] With the coating mechanism 2 in place, when the current collector is pulled by the placement roller 3 to the first traction roller 6 and the second traction roller 9 and moved between the first power roller 22 and the second power roller 23, the active material is coated onto the current collector by the coating plate 25. Before coating, the first traction roller 6 can be adjusted up and down according to the power of the first power roller 22 and the second power roller 23 by the tension spring 7 to adjust the tension of the current collector, thereby ensuring a smooth coating of the current collector. At the same time, the scraping roller 24, under its own gravity, can further ensure the smoothness of the current collector, so as to achieve the purpose of uniform coating in the later stage.
[0028] The placement roller 3 is mounted on a separate fixed frame. A cylinder 31 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the fixed frame, and a placement frame 1 is fixedly connected to the other end of the cylinder 31. Sliding rods are provided on the right side of the placement frame 1 at the top and bottom of the fixed frame of the placement roller 3. The top and bottom of the fixed frame are slidably connected to the sliding rods on the placement frame 1.
[0029] The first power roller 22 and the second power roller 23 are equipped with power motors. The right side of the sliding block 26 is provided with a sliding groove, and the left side of the fixed plate 27 is provided with a slide rail corresponding to the sliding groove of the sliding block 26. The sliding block 26 achieves sliding connection on the fixed plate 27 through the cooperation of the sliding groove and the slide rail. Example 2
[0030] Please see Figure 1-5 Furthermore, based on Embodiment 1, the discharge assembly 21 further includes a discharge trough 211, which is fixedly connected to the top left side of the coating plate 25. A partition 213 is fixedly connected to the right side of the discharge trough 211, and a uniform plate 217 is fixedly connected in the middle of the partition 213. A second feed pipe 214 is fixedly connected to the inside and top of the discharge trough 211. A first feed pipe 212 is fixedly connected to the top of the second feed pipe 214, and a third feed pipe 215 is fixedly connected in the middle of the first feed pipe 212. An outlet 216 is opened on the bottom left side of the discharge trough 211.
[0031] With the discharge assembly 21, when the active material is coated onto the current collector by the coating plate 25, the external active material tube and the third feed pipe 215 are connected. The active material is then transported through the first feed pipe 212 and the second feed pipe 214 to the top and bottom of the partition 213 in the discharge trough 211. At the same time, the uniform plate 217 can also uniformly fill the discharge trough 211 with the active material and then discharge it evenly through the outlet 216 to cover the top of the coating plate 25. This solves the problem of excessive active material on the existing coating plate 25, which leads to uneven thickness.
[0032] The partition 213 is densely and uniformly fixedly connected with uniform plates 217 at equal intervals, and each uniform plate 217 is provided with a feed pipe.
[0033] The second feed pipe 214 extends into the discharge trough 211 and reaches the bottom of the partition 213. The second feed pipe 214 has notches at the top and bottom of the partition 213 for discharging the coating material.
[0034] In actual operation, when this device is used, when the current collector is pulled by the placement roller 3 to the first traction roller 6 and the second traction roller 9 and moved between the first power roller 22 and the second power roller 23, the active material is coated onto the current collector by the coating plate 25. Before coating, the first traction roller 6 can be adjusted up and down according to the power of the first power roller 22 and the second power roller 23 by the tension spring 7 to adjust the tension of the current collector, thereby ensuring a smooth coating of the current collector. At the same time, the scraping roller 24, under its own weight, can further ensure the smoothness of the current collector, so as to achieve the purpose of uniform coating in the later stage.
[0035] When the coating plate 25 coats the active material onto the current collector, the external active material tube and the third feed pipe 215 are connected. The active material is then transported through the first feed pipe 212 and the second feed pipe 214 to the top and bottom of the partition 213 in the discharge trough 211. At the same time, the uniform plate 217 can also uniformly fill the discharge trough 211 with the active material and then discharge it evenly through the outlet 216 to cover the top of the coating plate 25. This solves the problem of excessive active material on the existing coating plate 25, which leads to uneven thickness.
